1.8 Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use HomePlug AV with older HomePlug versions?
All HomePlug AV versions can communicate with each other. HomePlug
AV, however, is not backward compatible with HomePlug 1.0 releases.
If you will use different versions of HomePlug AV in a single network, you
need to use the HomePlug AV Utility software to create a Private Network
Name for all devices. Unlike the new version of HomePlug AV, older
versions do not feature the Simple Connect button which enables the
device to create a common Private Network Name without using the
software.
How does HomePlug AV achieve a higher bandwidth than HomePlug
Turbo and HomePlug 1.0 devices?
HomePlug AV complies with the HomePlug AV standard. It achieves higher
data throughput by using a broader frequency spectrum (2-30 MHz rather
than 4-21 MHz), by using a better access method (Time Division Multiple
Access rather than Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection), and
by using a better processor with a greater bitload per Hz.
Can HomePlug AV be used alongside HomePlug 1.0 devices within the
network?
HomePlug 1.0 and HomePlug AV standards can coexist but they will not be
able to communicate with each other.
Which operating system (OS) is compatible with HomePlug AV?
HomePlug AV is operating system independent. However, the HomePlug
AV Utility requires a Windows operating system (98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista)
with the .NET Framework installed.
How difficult is it to set up a network with HomePlug AV?
HomePlug AV is a plug and play device. Connect it to an Ethernet device,
plug it to a wall socket, and it is ready to use. Even the most inexperienced
